This guide is designed to help you navigate the first season, which aired in 2013 and established the Shelby family's rise to power in 1919 Birmingham.
Episode 6 (Finale): The "Black Star" day arrives. The Peaky Blinders face off against Billy Kimber’s gang in a bloody street battle that changes the power structure of Birmingham forever. Key Characters & Cast
If you meant "index of" as in a web directory listing of episode files (like /index-of/peaky-blinders-s01/), that would contain file names like:
Primary Setting: Post-WWI Birmingham (1919), specifically the Small Heath area.
1. Episode 1: "The Garrison Effect" (S1E1)
- Runtime: 58 minutes
- Top Index Moment: Tommy riding a black horse through the flaming streets of Birmingham.
- Why it's #1: The pilot is a masterclass in introduction. Within ten minutes, we learn about the family hierarchy (Arthur is volatile, John is loyal, Polly is the brain), the business model (fixing horse races), and the central conflict (stealing a shipment of guns from the BSA factory). The moment Tommy says, "I don't pay for suits. My suits are on the house or the house burns down," you know you are watching something different.
However, "top" modifies this search. You aren’t just looking for any index; you want the top index—the highest quality, most reliable, or most complete listing. This could also imply you want the top episodes (the best-ranked installments) from Season 1.
